Burnley are the latest Premier League team being eyed for a possible takeover, with a number of American and Middle-Eastern investors seeing significant potential in the club. The Clarets have been in the news for the wrong reasons lately, with one of their fans behind the 'White Lives Matter' plane banner flown before their defeat to Manchester City. That event was followed by questions being asked about Sean Dyche's future at Turf Moor. Now, a number of overseas investors are interested in...

The affections of football fans can be hard to understand sometimes. It feels like at every club there's a naff defensive midfielder who, simply because they do lots of running and love to steam into a tackle on derby day, is more popular with supporters than a clever striker or tidy full back. But it's always the case that some players are just too good to be ignored, and forwards especially can bury most naysayers under an avalanche of goals, even if they don't appear to 'play for the...

Manchester United have been drawn to face Chelsea in the semi finals of the FA Cup, with Arsenal taking on Manchester City. The draw took place at half-time of City's tie with Newcastle on Sunday, conducted by a lonely Alan Shearer due to social distancing regulations. United were first out of the hat, and will take on the Blues in the showpiece semi-final later this month. The Red Devils were the first side to book their place in the semi-finals on Saturday evening, though were taken all the...

Win Southampton set a new club record of eight away wins with a 3-1 victory against relegation-threatened Watford on Sunday evening. An uneventful opening quarter of an hour was made to seem all the more scrappy when Danny Ings produced the first moment of quality, with a piece of neat footwork creating a pocket of space to fire in the opener for Southampton. ????-trumental ? pic.twitter.com/JhvfMzEug4 — Southampton FC (@SouthamptonFC) June 28, 2020 The Saints largely dominated the play,...

Tottenham have no intention of selling record-signing Tanguy Ndombele this summer, with the club backing the Frenchman to be a major hit in the long haul. Ndombele has attracted a lot of attention during his debut Premier League season, as a result of his sensationalised 'rift' with manager Jose Mourinho rather than his on-field performances. Ndombele scored on his Premier League debut in a 3-1 win over Aston Villa on the opening weekend of the season The Frenchman has endured fitness, injury...

Spot Chelsea beat Leicester to progress to the semi finals of the FA Cup as Ross Barkley struck the winner at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon. During a much improved second half display from the Blues, substitute Barkley cooly converted Willian's cross to send the visitors to Wembley. Finish, @RBarkley8! ? ? 0-1 ? #LEICHE pic.twitter.com/Mt99UIsXs0 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) June 28, 2020 Leicester had the better of the first half but, despite some sloppy defensive play, Chelsea came...

Watford confirmed prior to their Premier League game against Southampton that Andre Gray, Nathaniel Chalobah and Domingos Quina had been omitted from the squad for health reasons, amid speculation that the trio broke social distancing measures to attend a party. Lockdown rules and regulations have slowly started to be lifted by the UK government after weeks of total shutdown, but the rules stipulate that large gatherings with those outside of your own household are still not allowed. ?

Juventus' chief football officer Fabio Paratici has warned off potential buyers for Adrien Rabiot this summer, insisting the Frenchman will stay in Turin. Rabiot has recently been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal and Manchester United said to be interested, following a pretty indifferent debut campaign at Juve after his summer move. The 25-year-old has made just 13 league starts under Maurizio Sarri this term, with the Bianconeri's midfield a constant source of their woes...

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has warned that he does not envisage his future in management lasting for 20 more years. The 1998 Ballon d'Or winner returned for his second spell as manager of Real Madrid in March 2019 after leading the club he once played for to three consecutive Champions League titles. Zidane's side are locked in a tight La Liga title race with perennial rivals Barcelona this season. However, in a press conference ahead of Real Madrid's clash with Espanyol on Sunday,...

First it was his ACL now it's COVID-19, there's no doubting someone up there just doesn't want Leroy Sane to leave Manchester City in favour of Bayern Munich. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a glittering four-year career on the sky blue side of Manchester; racking up five major honours and playing a starring role in the CItyzens' back-to-back Premier League triumphs. During City's 'centurions' campaign in 2017/18, Sane also brought home the PFA Young Player of the Year award. Sane returned to...

A look at six of the best moments of Leroy Sane's Manchester City career ahead of his proposed move to Bayern Munich.

Mesut Özil was ruled out of Arsenal's FA Cup quarter-final victory with Sheffield United because of a minor back injury. The German has yet to play for the Gunners since English football returned, having first been left out of manager Mikel Arteta's matchday squad against Manchester City. He was then an unused substitute against both Brighton and Southampton, with the Spaniard instead favouring the likes of Joe Willock in the starting lineup. And he played no part in Yorkshire too, having...

Grabbing his eighth goal of the season from the penalty spot may not be the greatest example of his teammates 'playing to his strengths', but all the other aspects of Arsenal's attacking display against Sheffield United hinted that we may be on the verge of seeing the best of Nicolas Pepe. Dare I say the Lille Nicolas Pepe? No I don't, not just yet. But we're getting there. He's flattered to deceive on a few occasions this season, be it either going through matches as a mere passenger or...

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed star players Donny van de Beek, Andre Onana and Nicolas Tagliafico could all leave the club in the next transfer window. The youthful Champions League semi-finalist side of 2018/19 has already been split up following the departures of Matthijs de Ligt to Juventus, Frenkie de Jong to Barcelona and Hakim Ziyech to Chelsea, and a number of their remaining players have been linked with future exits. Ten Hag has accepted Andre Onana could also depart this...

bley A late Dani Ceballos winner earned Arsenal a 2-1 quarter-final victory at Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon, ensuring they are still in contention for a 14th FA Cup trophy. The Blades thought they had taken an early lead, only for John Lundstram's header to be ruled out for offside after a VAR check. Despite starting well, the hosts soon found themselves a goal down as Chris Basham gave away a penalty for a foul on Alexandre Lacazette. Up stepped Nicolas Pépé, who slotted the ball past...

Do you ever thank your lucky stars that of all the fascinating historical periods you could have been born into, you popped up in the one where you get to watch Kevin De Bruyne turn out for Manchester City every week? Even the most hardline of Manchester United supporters would have to admit that watching the Belgian in full flight is one of football's most breathtaking experiences, and even before joining the Cityzens in 201, he was well on his way to becoming one of the best players to do it...

Thomas Müller may have been the man to score Bayern Munich's 100th goal of the league campaign on the season's final day, but it was his assist for the game's opener which will enter the record books. Bayern's number 25 collected Robert Lewandowski's layoff and perfectly weighted a bouncing ball into the path of the onrushing Kingsley Coman, taking out six Wolfsburg players with one simple pass. The Frenchman didn't need to take a touch before rifling the ball into the corner to bring Müller's...

It's safe to say that many fans weren't exactly impressed by Liverpool's decision to sign Sadio Mané in 2016. Just look at some of the replies when the deal was revealed on Twitter.

Unsurprisingly, his time at Anfield as been full of countless moments of individual brilliance, but let's take a look at ten of the best. 1....
